Last time they were together, Warren was planning to sail away at the age of 14, planning to take Nivea with him. But with the duty of caring for her family, Nivea had stayed behind with a promise from Warren:
"I'll come back to you."
Now at the age of 24, Nivea was sure he had forgotten his promise, their friendship, and her. For that, she hated him.
But over time, she thought he was dead.
What does that make her, waiting 10 years for a ghost?
For a love she thought would come back.
What would you do if he stood right in front of you...and you didn't know it?

A cruel smile caught up with me. Somewhere at the back of my head, I couldn’t believe what I had just said, but I refused to let the guilt creep into me. If I called him huge before, I didn’t know what I should be calling him now. His entire six and a half foot frame began expanding animistic-ally. Charging like an angry bull, he reached me in two long strides. His eyes budging in fury. As suddenly as he started, he stopped. “You said what?” “Monster” I whispered back. But unwillingly my eyes dropped on the floor. No he did not scare me, but I could not bring myself to look into his eyes after what I just said to him. Nonetheless, he was a monster. Next thing I know, his large rough hands pulls my waist to his torso. Shocked, I looked at him. My eyes flared at his, my eyebrows raised in aftershocks. I flinched at his touch, but his arm kept me in place. I couldn’t no longer read his eyes. He used his free arm to grip my chin and pull it until my neck stretched back, until I looked directly at him. “Say that again” he repeated. ***########*** Curiosity kills the cat.
